Unit Learning Outcomes:
, You are the newly recruited Network Engineer of an eminent movie company called
Enclave Films. This company composes movies and delivers high quality video to
make it download through VividZone company website. The original movie company
management has decided to consolidate the contract with VividZone by adding more
efficient staff and appliances.
Enclave Films is in building B and the web team is positioned in the same building
while majority of the administration, sales, accounts and management functions are
supported in building A. Both buildings are located in the same premises. Movie
company plans to aggregate all their staff and resources in one building. Therefore
when adjacent office space becomes available in building A, these groups will be
accommodated together. Building A has a reception and a customer area as well.
About the Network
The branch network of Enclave Films has grown without proper planning. The LAN
cabling in both offices is Cat5e Ethernet. The office complex provides an Ethernet link
between the two buildings. Because of the recent acquisition of VividZone, the
addressing and naming of the network are inconsistent.
The combined network infrastructure has not been optimized or redesigned. It is a flat
network design with minimal redundancy. A small wireless LAN is used occasionally
by few project managers with laptops and the guests at Building B. Movie company
believes that the WLAN may be used frequently since mobile and contract employees
of VividZone will require network access.
Remote access to Enclave Films network is provided through an ADSL internet link
terminating in Building A. Currently there are two sets of Enclave Films staff onsite at
the stadium in building A. The VividZone provides them office space in their
management offices.
The current network equipment includes:
a) Two routers
b) Three switches
c) One network and business server
d) One wireless router
e) One ADSL modem
The current network has TWO VLANs.
f) The General VLAN in building A serves the general office and managers, including
reception, accounts, and administration. It consists of 12 PCs and 02 printers.
g) The Production VLAN in building B serves the production suites and provides networking
for the media development and storage. It consists of 09 high-performance workstations,

, 05 office PCs, and 02 printers.
The Management expects to enhance the network based on following major
criteria:
h) Data traffic expected to increase by 80%
i) Possibly consider connecting directly to the VividZone network; must be a fast and reliable
connection
j) High network availability with redundant links and technology
k) Wireless network access at the stadium and at Building A and Building B
l) QoS to support video applications
m) High network reliability with network monitoring and security
